Guide to Madrid<br />

and still does a roaring trade, especially in the evenings<br />

when tourists mingle with a loyal local following. Apart<br />

from the decor, which is ageing as graciously as the<br />

sherries behind the counter, there’s a good selection of<br />

canapés and tapas such as mojama (flakes of salty dried<br />

tuna) (see La Venencia).<br />

9 Alhambra<br />

Designed to look like a bar of the early 1900s with<br />

Moorish touches, Alhambra is one of the best places to<br />

start the evening if you’re about to embark on a tour of<br />

the night spots of Sol and Santa Ana. Check out the<br />

Andalusian tapas – especially the cured meats and spicy<br />

sausage. Drinks are more expensive from around 11pm<br />

at weekends (see Alhambra).<br />

10 Moore’s<br />

Irish bars are incredibly<br />

popular with madrileños .<br />

This one offers all the usual<br />

attractions – long opening<br />

hours, pub-grub like roast<br />

beef, satellite TV coverage<br />

of sporting events and good<br />

music. Prices are higher than average but the promotions<br />

lessen the pain.<br />
